Achievement Medal winner and Roll of Honor dahlia, named in honor of the originator who 
in his lifetime sent out some very popular dahlias. This new introduction is naturally large

very largest varieties and a special favorite with us. Winner as largest bloom at the 
World’s Fair show . $7.50

freely produced . $2.00 
SETH PARKER—F. D. (Redfern) Bright peach pink. This rich colored 1932 Roll of Honor dahlia

right on a stiff stem .. $2 00
